Costco Wholesale Corporation Income Statement 2025-2007 | COST

Brief overview of income trends at Costco Wholesale Corporation

The overview follows changes across a five-year period. According to figures from Costco Wholesale Corporation, revenue changed from $167 billion to $275 billion over five years. The cumulative result was +65%, corresponding to roughly 10.5% per year. The trajectory reflects meaningful expansion of the business.

Gross profit was 21.8 billion dollars at the start and 35.3 billion dollars at the end of the period (+62%). Direct costs broadly followed the top-line trend. Comparing the endpoints gives gross margins of 13.1% and 12.8%. Gross profitability remained broadly stable.

The operating result measured by EBITDA moved from 7.1 billion dollars to 12.8 billion dollars, or +80.9%. The operating result outpaced sales and points to improving efficiency. Comparing the endpoints gives EBITDA margins of 4.2% and 4.7%. The EBITDA margin stayed near its previous level.

Over the period, net income shifted from 4 billion dollars to 8.1 billion dollars (+102.4%). The period finished with its strongest net-income result.

The market value of the business moved from 156 billion dollars to 469 billion dollars, or +201.3%. A large part of future progress may already be reflected in the valuation.

Overall conclusion

The five-year picture requires weighing both strengths and weaknesses. The strongest signals are consistent sales economics, a larger revenue base and net-income growth. The main areas of concern are a narrow EBITDA buffer. Further direction will depend on top-line growth, operating profitability, and net income.

The income statement is one of the three key financial reports of a company Costco Wholesale Corporation (alongside the balance sheet and the cash flow statement). It shows how the company makes money and what its expenses are:

  • How much revenue the company earned
  • How much it spent on production, personnel, marketing, taxes, etc.
  • What profit remained in the end

Analyzing the income statement helps an investor understand whether the business generates stable and growing profits, how effectively the company controls its expenses, and whether it is capable of generating income in the future. Additionally, this analysis shows how the company copes with crises and economic cycles, and allows assessing the potential for stock price growth and dividend payments.

Features
  • The income statement may include both recurring and one-time items (for example, profit from the sale of assets). It is necessary to separate core metrics from one-off events for accurate analysis.
  • Companies often publish interim reports (e.g., quarterly), which allows for more timely tracking of trends.
  • A combined analysis of the income statement with the balance sheet and cash flow statement provides a comprehensive view of the company’s financial health.
